Hemsley is best known for his role as George Jefferson on the Norman Lear CBS sitcom spin-off, "The Jeffersons."

The popular show aired for 11 seasons between 1975 and 1985, living on for decades in syndication. A few versions of the iconic theme song and show intro exist. A video mash-up of all Hemsley's dance moves does not. Please someone fix that.

News crews were kept at distance as the actor's body was removed from his home, KFOX 14 reports.
